Field Notes

A stillwater nymph pattern for trout, especially effective during damsel fly activity. Fish it on a retrieve or under an indicator when trout are feeding subsurface on mobile, flashy prey.

Pros

  • Mobile hackle gives lifelike movement.
  • Hot head adds visibility and attraction.
  • Barbless hook is easier to release fish from.

Cons

  • Not ideal when trout are keyed on very small or subtle naturals.
  • Barbless hook may require steady pressure to keep fish pinned.
